.280 Ackley and 150grn Swift Scirocco II

Can anyone help me with some load data for the combo above? I would really like to use the 150 Swift Scirocco II and be able to push it to 3000fps with accuracy but im having a hard time finding load data for this caliber/bullet combo.

Anyone have quickload that would care to provide some info for me? or personal experience would be great also.

I have a Cooper M52 in 280AI that I am working up a load for. Here is where I stand:

I have the same mag length constraint you have. I actually filled the inside of the mag catch notch in the magazine with epoxy as rounds were sticking in it nose-first. It actually worked pretty slick. I still can't get to the lands with long bullets. . .

I have worked up loads using 160ABs and 160 TSXs. Both in front of 57gr H4831SC. No pressure signs, and there will be room to increase. The ABs were at max mag length leaving them 47 thou off the lands. The TSXs could be seated to the lands, but my experience is that they like to be at least 30 thou off so that is where I started.

I only loaded 10 of each as this was an initial work-up. I fired 3 shot groups only and got very good results. My worst group was 0.64" with the TSXs, but both projectiles averaged just under 0.5" across 3 groups each.

So, my initial concerns about loading right up to the lands proved to be unnecessary . . . I was even more pleased as my fireform loads SUCKED for accuracy.

Also, a question for you. Are you using Nosler 280 rem brass or 280AI brass? I read an article that the SAAMI spec for Nosler 280 AI was 14 thou shorter than the original PO Ackley design, creating a potentially unsafe case-stretch issue. Cooper told me that their reamer is the PO Ackley design, but they seemed a little non-committal. If you have actual measurements I would be very interested in your experience.

Iv got some 2000 rounds through my excalibur 280ai. Nosler brass has been fine with over 10 cycles and no issues at all. I shoot 162 amax single shot for longer ranges (though its still .040 off as thats as long as I can extract a loaded round) and the ttsx 140gr for a mag length load for close stuff. It s one of the least fussy rifles Iv ever had so as above try them at mag lenght and see how they go. You shouldnt have any trouble getting that speed wit a 26" barrel.
Re: the differnt chamber specs , I read an article a while ago that compared the go-nogo gauges for both the PO Ackley and the SAAMI and no actual difference could be found other than they seemed to be indexed off slightly different positions on the shoulder.
